Saints Row 1 and 2 are perfect examples of well written diverse characters. Johnny Gat, Lin, Julius, Dex, Pearce and a few others all fit in a diverse group and I and many others love these characters.
You know for diverse characters when I see one of them, i don't treat them different. Cause they're also human beings and i treat them equally to how non diverse characters are. But video games are just full of them right now. But that's just my opinion 😅
to me it;s hard balance but it comes down to a mindset. Everything is good when it's done out of genuine creativity, and goes to hell when it's not (sadly the most common these days cus big company mindset). Once stuff starts to get done to fulfill a sense of "box ticking" almost, you start treating people as things and their life experiences as a 1 dimensional wallpaper and you can all but guarantee the result with be hamfisted crap, that's not how people are. WHAT people are should be only a discoverable root of WHO they are as an individual. In some cases people use the "what" parts of themselves as a cloak for themselves and it's very sort of in your face, but in those cases you don;t really know a thing about them as an actual individual til you get to see the person behind all that. Works the same in media but it tends to come across even more as crude and like the devs want you to applaud them personally, not discover the character.

Good video. Looking forward to seeing more.

My only problem with it is if your trying to force your agenda is just moronic
